Settler Anxiety at the Outposts of Empire: Colonial Relations, Humanitarian Discourses, and the Imperial Press. Vancouver: UBC Press, 2016.
-Robert Hogg in a review for BC Studies describes the book this way: “Settler Anxiety at the Outposts of Empire is meticulously researched and engagingly written. The colonial intrigues of the mid-nineteenth century are suffused with a freshness that draws readers in, as if they were reading about current events. It is a valuable addition to our understanding of the colonisation process in New Zealand and on Vancouver Island.” https://www.bcstudies.com/?q=book-reviews/settler-anxiety-outposts.
-Cole Harris in a review for the Ormsby Review states: “In short, Storey has written an important book. It is not an easy read, but anyone seriously interested in settler colonialism and its relationship with Indigenous peoples will find it a well-researched and well-connected study with surprisingly broad implications.” https://bcbooklook.com/2018/03/26/a-tale-of-two-colonies/
-Mark Cronlund Anderson in a review for the University of Toronto Quarterly writes: “The text excels first, in particular, by grounding its approach in a deep and careful reading of the scholarly literature, which is in turn reflected in confident prose…Overall, this is an excellent study, carefully argued and well paced. It will appeal in particular to scholars and graduate students.”
-Felicity Barnes in the Journal of British Studies concludes: “Finally, he contributes to a growing literature on the nature of imperial press culture, adding New Zealand and Vancouver Island as evidence of its uneven interaction and influence in the mid-nineteenth century. These interventions mean this study of an odd couple at opposite edges of the Pacific will be of great interest to a wide range of scholars.”
-Michael Belgrave in the Journal of New Zealand Studies writes: “Storey provides a highly nuanced, detailed and thought-provoking exploration of the place of humanitarianism in print culture, in both settler societies, and its relationship to a metropolitan debate about imperial responsibility, in particular in the face of threats of violence.” https://ojs.victoria.ac.nz/jnzs/article/view/6276/5268
